"Personal Power"

Power is the word for the day. It is an important concept because humans tend to misuse it's essence. Power was intended to be used to enhance personal strength and self-esteem! But, too often, power has been used to control others including large groups of people and even entire countries.
Our message today is intended to focus on bringing power back to the self. Too many of you have given your personal power away. You do this because you fear power and you want to be liked and accepted by others. True power comes with the insight that the only power worth having is your personal power. You need to acknowledge that the personal power within you can be used for a positive force within your lives. You need to take your power back from others and feel the strength that it gives you. You need to realize that there is nothing wrong with feeling powerful. It is the one thing that gives you the strength to face your fears, your doubts and your so-called failures. Personal power gives you the strength to move forward in your spiritual growth. It gives you the freedom to be who you really are and to share your truth with others. It gives you courage to make changes in your life so that you can move forward in a positive way.

If each person were able to recognize the power they have within as a positive force in their life experience, then there would be no need to force this power on others. Stop a moment and reflect on your own control issues. In reality these are your power issues . When you seek to feel strength by sapping it from others, it is not your own power. Each person needs to find a way to tap into their own personal strength so they can maintain a balanced, loving and accepting attitude towards life. Each person can develop the skill to access whatever strength and love they need directly from the universe! The energy you are seeking is all around you, especially in nature. The power that is only yours comes directly from the cosmos and when you use others to channel this power to you, you cannot possibly keep it for long for it is not yours to keep then. Using others to gain your power causes inner discontentment and deep down you know that it is not the pure love that you need.

So, seek to discover the ways that you can personally receive the energy, power and love that you need directly from spirit and the universe. It is there for you to use. It is there for you to help others with. It is there for you to help yourself with. All you need to do is ask for guidance, listen and follow through on the guidance that you receive!

When you come to the point in your life where you can accept others and events as okay in their now, you will no longer need to try and control them. You can be in tune with the flow of life through accepting, allowing and trusting in the self. You can be in tune with the flow of life when you realize that only you can create and control your personal life experience. So why not allow others to do the same?
